    Using multiple angles to display each letter is genius. It can make the difference between trying to copy a sign and fully understanding the sign you're making. Thank you very much for posting.

    Something I found helpful for practicing is signing along and trying to stay one step ahead and then checking you're right when he does it. For example, I sign an A before he signs an A, I check my A is right based on his, then I have to switch to a B in the time before he does, then once he does I use his to check, and so on. Maybe this will help someone else as well!

    I just learned the alphabet after watching your video about five times. I figure if I watch it five times every day and continue to add in words I’ll get better at ASL in no-time. Last week a deaf person sat down at my bar and I really wished that I would’ve had the ability to have a better conversation with him. We managed by typing things on our phones, however, when he comes back, I want to blow him away by having an entire conversation in a language we both can understand. So thank you for all these videos because of all the ASL channels I’ve come across yours is the very best. ✌🏽

    To hearing English speakers:
    1.ASL is NOT English. ASL has its own grammar structure and sayings/ signs that can be only understood in sign and not English
    2. Facial expression is very important. In English when you speak, the pitch of your voice changes depending on how you feel. To show feelings in ASL we use facial expression
    3.Deaf and deaf have slightly different meanings

    • @harashe1000
      @harashe1000 Рік тому +16

      I'm learning ASL now and I'm having a hard time with the facial expressions-- I think I'm a bit repressed and feel scared/embarrassed to do anything with my face that's not a neutral expression. Glad I'm learning ASL and extra glad because it's teaching me about myself in ways I didn't expect! I'm working to strengthen the link between my thoughts and the expressions I convey outwardly

      And what do you mean “leave that to the people who are fluent” they had to learn at some point too and once she becomes fluent it won’t matter. Why? Because she’s fluent so she can teach whoever the hell she wants. Do you really think that telling someone who’s obviously passionate about their goals to just not do them because there’s more people skilled at it? Everyone has to learn at some point.

    Hi from the land of the long white cloud, New Zealand (NZ)! Thank you for the video of ASL ABC :-)
    I work with a lovely student who has lost the movement of her right side of her body from a stroke. Although Deaf people in NZ use the manual alphabet with two hands, your video has given me an idea to help my student learn ABC through ASL with a one hand alphabet signs. This video is clear, precise and an easy pace to follow. Without sounds or captions, come on you people! Strengthen your visual perceptions and ASL or any other sign languages used around the world are not based on sounds! Imagine what it feels like to be immersed into the land of the Deaf signing to communicate and that will help change your perceptions of Deaf people and their beautiful language!! So ... thank you! Good work!

If you work with some Deaf folks I bet they can help you come up with an adaptation to the two handed alphabet (and other signs) so your student will be able to communicate with others! Best of luck :-)

    What I find most brilliant are the multi-view of hand/finger positioning, as well as there being no music or voice-over to distract from the tutorial. Bravo, and thank you!

    I wish I knew what to do for signs that my fingers can't do. For finger spelling, I just can't manage the "B". My thumb can not fold down across my palm without pulling my index and middle fingers down too. Might be something to do with the tendons-- my family seems especially prone to developing stuff like tendinitis.
    Gonna try to keep learning anyway. I figure knowing the signs and not being able to do them is better than not knowing them at all.

    Q and R always use the first three fingers!
    S and T only move the thumb once!
    U V and W may be pretty obvious like I and J

    Is it okay if I don't bend my thumb when I sign B? I can bend my thumb while using my left hand, but I can't with my right. I want to learn asl, and I want to make sure I don't unintentionally mess up any letters

    I'm so glad to see the letter G this way. Now when I see it,people that are right hand dominant make it like the index finger is pointing to the left, with the thumb on top. I'm happy to see letter O this way as well,since I usually see letter O turned sideways.

    One thing I don't understand: I've seen letters like 'C' and 'D' signed from a "side angle" as well... when should I use which angle/perspective?

    I saw in another video the when making the Y you are suppose to have the knuckles facing towards the person you are signing, not up. Not sure if it’s either way.

    Is it important which hand you use to sign? I'm left handed and I find it difficult to sign using my right hand.

    Excuse me for asking I am ignorant in this and I could be wrong but wouldn't it be helpful to have the letters superimposed as he signs them someone give me directions and let me know

    Does anyone know why the ASL alphabet is like that? In NZSL the alphabet strongly resembles each letter and makes sense.
    So for ASL I get the LMNOP and VWZ letters, but ones like B and T and S???? So confused as to why they’re shaped like that.

    would small hands be a problem for a sign speaking person? I hope they can understand me even though my fingers are very small and some of the letters like T or M I cant do properly

    can you do the letters with your left hand? or is it exclusively the right?
